I'm so intrigued with that trail. We've gone over the Sierra's to Reno from San Jose in the winter by train and I'm glued to the window the entire time. The amount of snow is insane and my fiancé tells me they call it Sierra cement. Very heavy water content and not at all like we're used to around here.

So....I need to Go live around there. I love Snow. Not to mention I'd have an Excuse to have a Sweet Off road Rig. Now I just have an Explorer with Great Aspirations for the future. Up there it would a Necessity.

That is a wild adventure. Sounds like a good time except for the getting wet in the cold thing, and the abandoning your rig thing, and the wondering if you will make it off this crazy mountain thing!!! At least they had some on hand!

nice story and why only time i ever even thought about going up there in the winter when i lived out there was with a large group, and with ham radio.. as for the rigs it sucks, but sadly i bet if and when the thaw comes there shit will have been stripped buy the 'con pirates...
